Backs that haven't had surgeries maybe. His surgery didn't solve his problem either, it just relieved the nerve pressure from his bad disc, the bad disc is still in there and it's obviously affecting him right now. All Tiger has to do is torque himself a little too much and WHAM, it's like having an ice pick slammed into you.

Agree. There is no such thing as routine back surgery. A back injury is basically about the worst thing that can happen to an older golfer. Tiger hurt his back after win #4 last year. He went on to win one more tournament that year on a course that he had won on 7 times. And that was it for him. This surgery was merely a band aide for a his injury. He will never be quite the same again. I can very well see him being in the same boat as Fred Couples was in when he was on the PGA tour. Very limited play. It could even get to the point to where Tiger just shows up for the majors and skips all of the other tournaments other than maybe a warm up event a week prior.
There is precisely no logic to what you're saying.
Tiger has not won a major since 2008 and in 8 of the last 13 he's played in he has either missed the cut or finished outside the top 20.
If you had actually bet money on this, you would have been better off lighting it on fire.
"It wasn't very good," said Woods, who was outside of the top 100 when he finished and in need of a decent score Friday to make the 36-hole cut.

I felt a little pity for him. Not so much his play, but the limping around, and having that funny walk that you get from a bad back. I know exactly how that feels. Unless he went to the Serena Williams School Of Faking Injuries, I believe all of this latest stuff is for real. His ego once again got the best of him and he came back too soon. I think it's very hard for somebody like Tiger to stay out of the limelight when he sees all of these young guns winning majors.
